Back in the game...

Ok, so I'm not running 25 miles a week or anything (and I probably won't) but I'm at least trying to run a little more regularly. For this week I'm at 10 miles (a 6 and a 4), and I'm aiming to do 6 more. I guess feeling like crap at the Shamrock run got me to take it a little more seriously. Although, I'll admit, even though I wanted to give up from mile 1, I felt great for the rest of the day!

My 6 and 4 this week felt ok...not stupendous, but what can ya expect? I'm definitely not going for any speed records, but I figure if I keep up with training, I'll get to a respectable pace eventually. I'm trying to incorporate hills more. It seems like the only way to improve your hill running is to run more hills...ugh. Any recommendations for hill runs? Yesterday I did a mile loop in my neighborhood that has a decent hill (takes 2-2.5 minutes to run up) four times. I just tried to go faster and faster up the hill. Thrilling, huh?

Besides for that, the knees are hanging in there...no knee replacement surgery yet!
